My new 1968 Nova L79 project.

Jed that is crazy 17 hours to replace both quarter and both outer wheel wells. If I wasn't concerned about all the welds being finished I would say maybe. I guess back then you didn't have all the rust issues we have to deal with. You know by some of the projects I have seen you post pictures of, once you remove the quarter you never know what you will find. I had to rebuild both inner C pillars and repair the lower roof lip also.

I spent the day taking the dash apart it will be fun putting all the Ac parts back together. Thank god for digital cameras. One thing I noticed was the tape to hold the gasket on the steering column seal bracket. I also found the part number on the rear wiring harness. The date code on back of the speedometer housing looks like C-18-68. I wouldn’t think the shifter hole would look this bad but I guess this is how they did it back then? The one thing I found interesting is the heater box wire for a non Ac car was behind the motor all rolled up. On an Ac car this wire isn’t used. Another wiring harness comes through the fire wall and one of the wires goes to the heater fan motor.
